Active Homecare
Active Homecare was founded in January 2019 by Laura Hayman RGN. Laura has worked within community settings for many years now, as a registered community nurse and specialist District nurse, caring for people with all manners of health, social and cultural needs within their own home. Laura has found working within the community setting that personalised community care services were limited, for this reason she wanted to set up her own Homecare service that provides safe, dignified, compassionate care to clients that wish to have care within the comfort of their own home.
